Ask Questions!

Asking your child how they would like to have their hair is a great start to their natural hair journey! Questions about how they would like their hair to look , such as length and accessories, are a great way to get the ball rolling and figure out which direction you and your child are headed in. Check out this cute style here! 



Find Influencers and Watch Tutorials

Influencers on social media such as YouTube and Instagram are a great way to seek out styles you and your child would like to try. Liking and watching videos are also a great way to support Black creators! Check out this creator here!

Make a Schedule

Falling into a routine with your child to care for their natural hair will take some time. Sit down with your child and talk about what times you can both agree to do things like practice styles, wash hair, and search for the next style. See how this mom keeps her kids on schedule here! 



Practice, Practice, Practice!

Developing a natural hair care routine will take a bit of time from both the child and the parent. Practicing styles with your child or letting them have a go on their own is a great way to ensure progress in your natural hair care journey. It will take time, but it will be so worth it when your child will be able to handle their hair on their own successfully! To get started, have a look at these cute natural styles here!
